Socca Swooning

Hiiiiii 😀 How are you? Hope your morning is off to a lovely start! Thanks for the feedback on the WSU Week 2 workout– from what I can hear, you’re loving it so far and feel hardcore in the gym- always a bonus 🙂 Keep rocking it out, my friends.

Last night, I experimented with a new-to-me flour:

Chickpea flour!

I’ve always stayed far away from chickpea flour because it tastes like death if you try to eat any dough that’s made with it. I decided to be brave, because my twinnie friends use it to make socca, and socca is DELICIOUS. I had about a thousand pieces when Michelle (my Foodbuzz roomie) brought a stash to Foodbuzz festival 🙂

I was determined to make socca

and reigned victorious 😉

It was SO EASY. Socca seems like one of those things that everyone says is easy to make, but like all bread products, is kind of intimidating. It’s ridiculously easy, I promise.

All ya do is mix equal parts chickpea flour and water (I used 1/2 of each)

season with sea salt and pepper, or fresh herbs if you like

and cook in a skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side, on medium-high heat (using whatever oil you like. I used coconut oil as the twins use, and it was glorious)

Ka-pow.

I enjoyed my socca with a bag of steamed organic broccoli, topped with organic butter and tamari

and for dessert, a serving of raw choco-cado pudding, using honey instead of agave. thinned out with a little almond milk

+ tea

It was perfect 😀

I’m surprisingly enjoying this detox thang so far. Then again, it’s only Day 2, so we shall see 😉

I’m off to run errands, teach, then look at a house that we could potentially buy if we get stationed here!

See ya later today <3

xoxo
